I remember when this was played again in episode 84. It was absolutely brilliant. The symbolic meaning of the entire sequence was finally made clear to to the audience, given what had happened in the previous few episodes. Even taking into account the fact that the OVA was based off a series of novels, the fact that they had this for their first ending sequence shows that the producers and writers knew exactly where the story was going from day one. There was a real vision behind LoGH that I don't think we'll see again.
+CosmicCommander The episodes before can leave you kind of numb, but then they hit you with this and the emotion, if you've watched all the way from the beginning, is indescribable. Game of Thrones can only wish it's character deaths could be this moving. This is the true epic.
Unfortunately they've never been translated to English. There are fan translations, but I don't think they have much literary quality. The first novel in the series is getting an official translation later this year, so I'm waiting on that.
+CosmicCommander i think the first three are licensed as of right now actually! i know that at least the first and second are up for preorder on amazon right now. everyone be sure to buy so they can afford to release all of them!!! :O
I was actually stoned when I watched episode 84. Since episode 83 was heavily foreshadowed, I had time to open a few bottles for the first and only occasion when I needed alcohol to get over a fictional character death. Wasn't able to watch this ending with the same eyes either. Poor Julian Mintz, just couldn't help hating him for being still alive. Oh my. The animation of this 30 years old anime is so simple and this is such a simple song. But what a high bar for the upcoming re-adaptation to reach.
Why did 7 people dislike this? I can't fathom how you come upon this video without liking the anime, and this song in particular. The likes are amazing though!
Watching the first ED and listening to this song during the first season: "Yeah, it's cool I guess. A little slow and weepy compared to the plot of the show, but it's nice." Watching the ED and listening to this song when they suddenly bring it back in Episode 84: *[AGGRESSIVE WEEPING AND BAWLING]*

This anime is good but very overrated. The actual plot itself was near-perfect. This is how you do a massively scaled story perfectly, Gurren Lagann and One Piece. Where this anime fails though is the characterization. Reinhard and Yang are Gary Stus; because of this, they are hard to take seriously. Don't even get me started on how people consider this anime to be deep. There certainly isn't enough depth to justify a 10/10. For depth, I suggest Ergo Proxy if you can understand it. You may have to watch it a few times but I still highly recommend it.
Jio Jio Yang is a mentor and Reinhard is indeed a Gary stu but that gets developed forward the series those making him better than other Garry stu type of character, also every series has problem so 10/10 isn't perfect but at least you gotta give this show an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 so it's far from being overrated because overrated series are series that are average, mediocre or bad that are considered good a good series can't be overrated
Yang is not a Gary Stu. He is often an underdog, who earned experience by studying story. His tactics all made sense, its not like he is pulling out the strategies out of nowhere, he is experienced, he plays safe, he is always consistent in his decisions. He seems kind of naive sometimes, but he is not, and he usually take advantage because people do underestimate him. I cant see how he is a Gary Stu.
Also, Ergo Proxy and legend of galactic heries are nothing alike to be compared. I dont understand the "depth" tyou are looking for here. Ergo proxy is a dementia, it should be alegorical;. AND LOTGH HAS DEPTH, few anime have been so consistent with its themes, developed so deeply on the theme of war and human history..... and no anime out there have had character so detailed like LotGH... these are reasons enough to get a 10/10. I dont mean to undermine your opinion, just state mine
Kaito .X .otaku I would get rid of that comment. You don't wanna spoil it for anyone but, *somewhat spoilers* yooooooo man episode 82, episode 82 ripped a whole in my heart bigger than anything else I've ever seen. I felt like I lost my best friend. Its the first time I've ever cried like a baby while watching an anime.
Just watched the episode,"Farewell, Distant memories" it's really painful to see kircheis death even for me, cant imagine what lohengramm must be having felt that time. in all honesty i started to fell that this song is actually for lohengramm to mourn kircheis
the comments are interesting. I think the whole social commentary on the cost and benefit of a dictatorship and democracy was enough to justify a 10/10 given how smooth and non forced it was, combined with other features of the show as well of course.
Spoiler! . . . . . The saddest thing about Kircheis's death is that he and Reinhard never really made up after the whole nuke incident. But Kircheis still died for his Reinhard. I weep

This is hands down the best show I have ever watched and will ever watch, for me this is the ultimate storytelling pinnacle. The perfect usage of Sound, the depth of the characters, the raw emotions displayed in the Story, one of a kind.
The wonderful hot tears They collect in people's hearts As you set off the road is obstructed By the massive futile war that never ends Don't let your dreams die; follow your dreams Far away the Milky Way's brilliance Reflects in tears, wetting your cheeks, till the day we can rejoice Crossing the bridge of light, laying bare your heart Crossing the bridge of light, set free your tears and love The wonderful abundant love It embraces people's hearts As you go on the cosmic road Its infinite darkness is distant and never-ending Don't let your dreams die; follow your dreams One day amidst the Milky Way's radiance Love will prevail, to decorate our joyous days Crossing the bridge of light, laying bare your heart Crossing the bridge of light, set free your tears and love Crossing the bridge of light, laying bare your heart Crossing the bridge of light, set free your tears and love

I watched the entire series in 2010. I always always stayed to the end to listen to the end credits. this was beautiful. Yang and Reinhard walking past each other and then turning. them getting older too. wonderful. hello from 2021.
Definately my favourite ending so far. Only at episode 54. But man does this one really feel grandeur. Also the more I watch this, the more I feel USA is going to lead to the rise of Rudolph.
Why are you all spoilering stuff in the comments of the first f***ing ending of the series? You know there will be people here who didn't finish it yet! I will know proceed to hit my head on my desk until I forgot the spoilers :(
ghostgamer10BY Ohhh goddamn dude, I got so frigging spoiled too 😭😭... first time I get this heavily spoiled too I think. If only the head banging method worked, but I loved reading your comment 😂👍.

If only LoGH classic was closer to the novels like DNT...maybe then it'll be even greater. I read the novel before watching the animes and it took me out of the experience pretty hard.DNT is much closer to the novel, but it's art style can't compare to Classic
